nonphosphate
Lacking phosphate chemical groups
Nonphosphate describes products or substances that contain no phosphates—chemical compounds once common in detergents and cleaning agents.
Environmental concerns about phosphates causing algae blooms in waterways led to widespread adoption of nonphosphate alternatives: nonphosphate laundry detergent, nonphosphate dishwasher soap.
